US Urges Israel to Address Settler Violence in West Bank After Attacks on Civilians and Journalist
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Israel to take stronger action against settler violence in the West Bank following attacks on Palestinian civilians and American photojournalist Heidi Levine. Levine was seriously injured during an assault by Israeli settlers amid the olive harvest season. European diplomats were also attacked. The US State Department has called for a full investigation, with Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemning the violence as unrepresentative of Israeli values. Monitoring groups report over 170 settler attacks since late September.
